“The contact owns a 2001 Suzuki grand vitara xl7. While driving less than 55 MPH, the passenger side brakes locked while the driver attempted to avoid a swerving vehicle. Two of the brake lines failed and the vehicle swerved uncontrollably to the right. The hoses also blew out and left the vehicle without any brakes. The driver was able to maneuver the vehicle off the road to safety. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v452000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor). The contact would have to pay more than $200 to replace the brakes. …”
